Coping with Fibromyalgia: Seeking Independence

Message me if you want . I'm here to talk

I think the most important thing with a caregiver is balance. I created a little area next to my bed where I keep things I need frequently like snacks, water, meds, remotes, charger, etc. That way they can plop me down in front of the TV and know that I'm safe for them to go out for a few hours. I had a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the bedroom when I was living in an upstairs/downstairs apartment. As far as health goes, I'd say figure out what your goals are. Less pain? Ability to walk/stand for farther/longer? Being able to independently perform more hygiene or household duties? From there you can start making plans towards that goal. A physical therapist can often be a good resource for how to make modifications.
